Digi-Eskwela

Motivated by the need to introduce e-learning opportunities to disadvantaged communities and children in developing countries in Asia, The Patatas developed the idea of using tablets as a platform for educational applications and materials. The Patatas combined mobile technology and gamification in education to supplement traditional classroom learning to make the learning process more engaging.

Our team come from various walks of life and age groups. Brought together by the need to do good and affect change in their sphere of influence and experience.

Testimonials

The conduct of Digi-Eskwela in Bitano Elementary School is a big help to the children. They show interest and willingness to develop their young minds. They have shown improvement in their Mathematics and English subjects.

Bea Yape has shown remarkable improvement after participating in Digi-Eskwela. She solves Math problems in class easily and shows improved reading fluency. This quarter she received an achiever merit award for doing well in class. Another of my student, Jowella, has become very active in class discussions. She participates in doing board work in Math and in read-aloud sessions. Her accuracy in calculations and decoding words have significantly improved.

Mrs. Liezel Marino, Teacher at Bitano Elementary School

In our school, each teacher has an average of 50 students in their class and this is quite tough on them to keep them attentive. With Digi-Eskwela, the teachers will have an easier time in the classroom keeping the students engaged and I believe that the students will benefit greatly from it too.

Ms. Elizabeth Lara, Principal at Ibalon Central School

It has been the school's goal to decrease the student dropout rate and with Digi-Eskwela, it could really be the key factor to keep students interested to stay in school because they get exposed to technology. It will also help their parents to see the value of keeping them in school.

Ms Aileen, Teacher at Ibalon Central School

I am grateful that my child is enrolled in the class. We cannot afford to buy a smartphone or tablet. But through Digi-Eskwela, my daughter is able to use a tablet and learn.
